face.
    Before she exited, she stuffed the metal key down lower into her bra. It was her last hope, but she still hadn’t figured out how she’d get away all by herself once she was free from the confines of the cell.
    She was placed back into the open cell, and Nick followed the same man to the bathroom stall.
    When Nick was gone, the taller one eyed her intensely, a smug grin on his face. “It’s a shame you won’t eat,” he drawled. “Our alpha has plans for you and you’ll need your energy.”
    She shivered, and shook her head to rid her mind of what she’d almost been forced to endure the night before.
    “I have no intentions of being part of his plans,” she said, keeping her gaze on the floor.
    “Last night was your warning,” he said. “This is your cool down period. I’m not sure why he’d even spare you. I suspect you won’t be so lucky tonight.”
    She glanced up. “Tonight?”
    “You’ll get another chance…or be served your punishment alongside your cellmate.”
    “Punishment?” Her heart seized in panic. “What do you mean?”
    “He’s not too happy about you assaulting him before his business meeting.”
    This time she laughed. “He’s saying that I assaulted him?” She stood up to face him with on ly the bars separating them. “He’s a sick bastard who tried to rape me .”
    The man reached through the bars and grabbed her by the throat.
    Her breath rushed out of her as he squeezed hard.
    His teeth were barred, sharp and long. Like canine teeth.
    She opened her mouth to speak, but the heel of his hand was pushed against her voice box.
    There was commotion to the left of them as Nick emerged from the stall. The moment she blinked, Nick tore away from the one who escorted him and crossed the room.
    “I warned you,” Nick growled, shoving her attacker violently , nearly ten feet across the room.
    The man’s body slammed against the wall but he scrambled back up with malice etched on his face. This time his fangs dripped with saliva. He growled like a dog.
    Selena’s gaze darted from her attacker to Nick. His expression was the same. Furious. With canines, fighter’s stance, clenched fists, and all.
    They came together swiftly, flesh hitting flesh.
    She screamed aloud, shattering her own ear drums and cowered in the furthest corner of the cell.
    They fought like two pro wrestlers, pinning each other to the floor and trading punches to the face and mid torso.
    The man standing of f to the side barged forward, trying to separate the two, but he ended up on the ground with a busted lip for his efforts. He got up and retaliated, grabbing what looked like a broken off piece of long metal pipe.
    Selene cringed when he swung at the fighting pair. Her heart settled only a bit when he missed, hitting absolutely nothing but thin air.
    One would have thought two animals were fighting by the way they tumbled across the floor, oblivious to everything else around them with sharp growls and fervent snarls escaping their mouths.
    The taller man caught Nick off guard as he recovered from a blow, held up a clawed hand, and slashed Nick across the abdomen.
    Nick howled in pain, and she pressed her own lips togethe r, mentally sensing the agony he must have felt.
    The other man helped by taking the opportunity and hitting Nick across the back with the metal pole.
    Nick fell to his knees right in front of her and cell.
    At that moment, thei r gazes met. His eyes were wild and savage . His fangs were barred. Her pulse tripped, and her heart nearly stopped as she stared at the man she did not recognize anymore.
    “Nick?” she whispered.
    His stare softened , but at the same time the pole was raised over him again by one of his attackers .
    “Kill him,” the other enc ouraged, holding his hand to his bloody throat.
    The man swung, delivering another blow.
    Nick’s body lunged forward, face first onto the floor.
    Her legs moved on their ow n accord and she rushed to help him. When the man lifted the
